4th grader suspended for moving BB gun during virtual class
Associated Press— A fourth grader at a Louisiana elementary school was suspended from school after he picked up a BB gun his younger brother tripped over and placed it in view of his computer’s camera while taking a virtual class, officials said. The Jefferson Parish Public school system said Ka Mauri brandished the BB gun during the virtual class on Sept. 11 and was suspended because he violated an in-class instruction policy. A school behavior report said Ka Mauri was taking a test with his computer muted when his brother walked into the room and tripped over the BB gun that was lying on the floor. Nyron Harrison, one of Ka Mauri’s parents, said he told officials it was a BB gun, not an actual rifle, but the report said it was still a violation of school policy.
